well, i broke my end link when i was changing my control arm. i can't get a new one yet so i tested my car without it. seems ok. i have the setting set with the front stiffer than the rear. holding the drift was easy but seems like it was harder to initiate a drift at higher speed.

fix your car man. If you want a stiffer rear buy a hicas rear bar and stay with a stock front. Or get some aftermarket bars.

Wow i did not see any type of LSD in that at all.

SO how is it that you "drift"?

you can drift with no lsd, just not as well, and more likely to initiate it with the e-brake.

oops. i have a j30 vlsd. i believe i can adjust the suspension to have more understeer and having the FRONT sways dislocated it'll equal out with enducing more oversteer. doesn't matter, i'll find out on drift day. i've already played around in a parking lot with messed up camber and damp, drifted fine.
